Abstract:A case of Pasteurella canis meningitis and ependymitis in an 8-month-old infant was reported. The patient had a history of 5-day fever and 2-day convulsion before the admission, and Pasteurella canis was detected from clinical samples. Although timely treatment with a panel of sensitive antibiotics was administered after hospital admission, the conditions continued to progress with cerebral hemia, central respiratory failure and death. This case demonstrates that a rare bacterial infection may cause serious conditions to infants and parents should keep their children away from potential dangerous situations.
